ST. PAUL, Minn. (October 27, 2009)-A Texas man who admitted to charges that he tossed a road sign off of a bridge during the Republican National Convention in St. Paul has been sentenced to 15-months in prison.
Bradley Neil Crowder, 23, of Austin, Texas, pleaded guilty Monday to a felony terroristic threat charge in Ramsey County.
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped a charge of aiding and abetting second-degree assault, which carries a maximum seven years in prison.
Crowder will serve the 15-month sentence concurrently with his two-year federal sentence for possessing Molotov cocktails during the convention.
Crowder was among three protesters charged with throwing the sign off the bridge on Sept. 1, 2008.
The sign landed three feet from a Philadelphia police officer working the convention.

Mercy, they are sure getting rough on our petty pranksters from Austin!! And what was he going to do with the molotive-cocktails?? And then he had to cop-a-plea to get 15 months???
I thought that it was only the Republicans who would get angry and violent? That is what the media tells me. Liberals, liberals.....
